Chapter 2:
Morning for my Pok mon.
6:58 AM 6/02/2010 My characteristic of waking up earlier than everybody else was not welcome today.
I wanted to sleep late until I could get my Pok mon.
This, of corse, didn't happen.
If you remember from earlier, my ds's battery was dead.
Actually, it seems not to have been teleported with me anyway.
Then I remembered something.
The had given me my Pok dex the previous night.
I don't know why he did it, maybe he was anticipating that I'd wake up early.
If that was the case, I'm very greatful to him.
Actually, I'm really greatful no matter what his reasons were.
"No Pok mon currently seen, or owned." The Pok dex said.
I found that the Pok dex had many more features than on the video games.
Phone, notepad, radio, etc.
"Hmm." I thought.
I knew this adventure wouldn't be my average walk in the park, even though that was where it originated.
So, I wrote down yesterdays events on the notepad feature.
It was a little bit easier to use than my laptop.
The hadn't given me the normal Pok dex, as it would have been difficult for me to use.
This was a specialized Pok dex with an expanded voice unit.
It told me what I was reading and typing just like my screen reader at home.
"Finally!" I thought.
I just finished writing the events of yesterday, and I heard PROF. Ash and his wife talking down stairs.
"Don't you think you should go get Aaron?" the asked quietly.
"Why?" questioned his wife.
"Don't want him to trip downstairs or in to one of my experiments do you?" The PROF. asked.
"You're right." Molly said.
She walked up the stairs and intered my room.
"I see you're already awake." She said.
"Yes mam." I said.
I checked my watch to find that the time was 7:47 AM.
"You do know the Pok dex has a clock on it right?" Molly asked.
"Yes I do, my watch just seemed more convenient." I answered.
"Okay then, come downstairs and eat some breakfast." She said holding her arm out for me to grab.
The meal consisted of bacon, fried eggs, and a bowl of fruit.
This brought a question to my mind.
"How do they make bacon in the Pok mon world?"
I thought it may be rude to ask, so I kept my mouth shut.
Even now, I still don't know.
After breakfast, he took me to his labritory.
"If your lab is here, then why do you have experiments at your house?" I asked, thinking it was probably a dumb question, but I didn't care.
"I do some research at my house, almost as much as I do at my labritory." Was the only thing he said.
When we arrived, he sat me in a chair infrunt of a table.
"We have some things to discuss." The PROF. said.
"Normally, I would give a growlith to you as your starter Pok mon."
"Why's that?" I asked not having a clue why.
"Growlith are very good at guidence." The PROF. said..
"Pok mon can usually tell when a human has a disability of any kind."
"If you bonded with a Growlith, it would be its second nature to help guide you through your journey."
"The problem is, Growlith do not live on this side of Toquin." PROF. Ash said.
"I can still go on a Pok mon journey right?" I asked panicing.
"Yes you can, but your Pok mon will not be your guide." PROF. Ash answered with a little laugh.
"Now, we must discuss your starting Pok mon desision." The professor said.
"This could be one of the most importent choices you make in your journey." "Many a Pok mon trainer has took this desision lightly, and has failed in their dreams and goals."
He reached for my hand and placed it on a round, ball shaped object I guessed was a Pok ball.
"Go ahead, throw it!" The Professor said incouragingly.
"Go Pok ball!" I yelled.
I had always wanted to say that!
"Charmander Char!" A Pok mon said.
Now, this wasn't just a weird sound like they use in the video games, but I had watched some anim , and I wasn't an idiet, so I knew it was a Charmander.
"Thats a Charmander!" I yelled.
"Yes." the Professor said.
"Toquin has 3 starter Pok mon, each one is from a different region." The Professor stated.
I reached out my hand to pet Charmanders head, but my finger went in his eye!
"Charmanderrr!" The Pok mon said angrily.
The Professor grabbed my hand just as something bright passed where my hand had been.
"I assume that is a ember attack?" I asked.
"Yes." PROF. Ash said.
"I don't think I want this Pok mon." I said.
That may have been selfish, but I wasn't thinking of that at the moment.
I reached for the next Pok ball, and threw it.
"Toto, toto!" My favorite Pok mon said.
"This Pok mon is my favorite!" I yelled.
The reason for this was probably that Totodile was the first Pok mon I ever owned on the video games.
Then, I remembered what the Professor said about choosing carefully, and returned Totodile to see who the last Pok mon was.
"Go Pok ball!" I said.
"Pip pip pip." A Piplup said.
"A Piplup huh?" I said.
"Now, choose carefully." The Professor advised once more.
'Charmander almost fried my hand.' I thought.
'Totodile is my favorite Pok mon, but come to think of it, I may get hurt on its spikes.'
'That leaves me with.'
"I choose you! Piplup!" I yelled, determined I was making the right choice.
"Are you sure this is your final desision?"" Professor Ash asked.
"Yes." I confirmed for the last time.
"Then, take the Pok ball from the table, and attach it to your-"
The Professor cut off in mid sentence.
"Whats wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing really, I just need to give you a belt." PROF. Ash said.
"Oh, Alright." I said.
He went out of a door, and came back with a belt that he gave me.
I put the belt on as he instructed me.
"Now, back to what I was saying." Denis Ash said.
"Take the Pok ball from the table, and put it on your new belt."
"Oh, and return Piplup first." The Professor said.
I returned Piplup to its ball, and said many thank yous to the Professor.
"Don't mention it again." He said, starting to get annoyed.
"We need to discuss how you're going to travel now." Professor Ash said.
"My daughter, Alice Ash, is now 10 years old, and is going to start her journey through the Pok mon world." The Professor said.
"I would like it if she could have a traveling partner incase she gets hurt."
Now, I knew what he was going to ask.
"Would you travel with her?" PROF. Ash asked.
"Yes." I said.
I didn't really want a traveling companion, or atleast, not yet.
Seeing as I needed someone to guide me, it really would be stupid to reject the offer.
bang bang bang.
A loud series of knocks came from the door, through which I entered earlier.
"That is her now." PROF. Ash said.
"Come in, it's not locked." The Professor said.
The door opened, and I heard shoes hiting the floor.
"I'm here, dad." The girl, Alice, said.
"ohh yes." PROF. Ash said.
"I want you to meet your traveling partner, Aaron Telmore." He told her.
"Hello." Alice said.
"Hi." I said simply.
"I'm Alice." The girl said.
"Hi Alice." I said.
I felt so stupid.
"Wh-who did you pick for your starting Pok mon?" I asked uncertenly.
"I am going to pick Charmander." She said.
'Crap' I thought.
